Chapter 21: Thanatos
Something surprising to Trunk appeared, the moment the killing aura came into contact with the skeleton, the spiritual connection between Trunk and the skeleton was suddenly magnified a hundred times, and Trunk could feel the skeleton's thoughts at this time - he needed more killing energy. Although this strong spiritual connection quickly receded, Trunk still urged more killing aura to envelop the skeleton according to the thought he had just felt.
The skeleton desperately absorbed the killing aura that enveloped it, and the soul fire in its eyes began to jump faster and faster.
If the spirit link just now was just the beginning, then the next change in the skeleton was a great surprise to Trunk. The skeleton, which was constantly absorbing the killing energy, began to slowly change its form. Originally, the joints that were a little short, and the main links of the body were just a few small bones connected to the body, under the birth of the killing aura, the bones of the body continued to derive black bone, under the action of these bones, the skeleton's body began to become stronger, and the joints that were originally only 1-2 bones connected also began to derive several smaller and harder bones. The most peculiar thing is that the weapon in the skeleton's hand has also begun to slowly change in form, and the weapon that was originally an axe-like weapon has begun to transform into a sword shape.
Trunk was overjoyed to see this, although he didn't know why the skeleton's form had undergone such a transformation, and he didn't know if all the undead creatures would be boosted by his killing aura. But what is certain is that this skeleton that he values will be greatly improved in the future under the change of the killing aura.
Trunk saw that the transformation of the skeleton's form should continue for a while, so he separated a trace of killing aura and enveloped the other standing skeleton next to him, he wanted to see if all the skeletons would be mutated under the effect of his killing aura.
Trunk didn't stand there either, waiting for the skeleton to absorb the killing aura. Under his control, the killing aura took the initiative to form a circular platform behind him, and he sat on it, and then began his own meditation.
Time passed quickly, and when Trunk's meditation was over, the skeleton had already stopped absorbing the killing energy, and he had returned to his peak state, Trunk stood up and circled around the skeleton, constantly observing the abnormal skeleton...
The skeleton's body has grown to about 1.8 meters, and its body is as strong as an adult man, and the legs and arms that seemed to be small and can be easily broken at any time before now look so explosive. The weapon in the hand has also been fully formed, a sharp shining black sword, the sword body is about 1 cm wide, the thickest part of the middle of the sword body is about 3 cm, the whole sword body is also extremely smooth, the handle of the big sword is tightly fit with the skeleton's right hand, the tail end of the handle is in the shape of a sheep's horn, and the curved horn is an outer barb, like the armor of the arm to protect the skeleton's right elbow. In addition to the shape of the weapon and the thickness of the body of the current skeleton, if there must be some differences, then it can only be said that the soul fire in the eyes seems to be beating a little faster before it moves.
After seeing this skeleton, Trunk looked back at another skeleton that he used for experiments, and under the wrapping of the killing aura for half a day, this skeleton did not change at all. Seeing this, Trunk could only express a slight regret, to the point that there was no great sense of loss. After all, for him, the current skeletons, including the skeleton in front of him that had been upgraded to 6 stars, were not of much help to him.
Trunk put away the killing aura that was released, and then threw the skeletons standing guard around him into the undead space.
Trunk turned to look at the 6-star skeleton and said to himself, "You didn't die like this, which proves that you are a skeleton with great potential." In the future, I will have to follow my father, maybe I will need some helpers, just like the ghost who killed Seventeen, it seems good to have a helper. ”
The skeleton seemed to understand the meaning of his words, and the soul in its eyes kept jumping. It's as if to tell Trunk that he's useful.
Trunk was overjoyed when he saw his reaction: "You will follow me in the future, of course, you have to speed up your cultivation, 6 stars is not good, it is too fragile." ”
As soon as Trunk finished speaking, the soul fire in the skeleton's eyes burned with a "rub", and most of the entire face was covered by the burning flames. As if angry at Trunk for saying he was too vulnerable.
Trunk was even more excited when he saw his reaction so fierce, what a conscious skeleton, and sure enough, he didn't waste so much killing energy in vain.
That night, Trunk was in no hurry to put the skeleton back into the undead space.
In order to make it easier for him to communicate with the skeleton in the future, he said that he wanted to give the skeleton a name, and the skeleton happily agreed, and the flickering soul fire in his eyes seemed to tell his joy.
When Trunk was decided, he began to name the skeletons. He kept picking names, and when the skeleton heard it, fierce flames kept beating in his eyes, as if to veto the name Trunk had given him that he didn't like.
Well, who made Trunk a more democratic, more persistent person. He really didn't believe that he couldn't satisfy a skeleton with a name, and he was kind of carried with this skeleton. All night! I watched Trunk talk and talk and talk, and then the skeleton's eyes kept burning and rising. Eventually, Trunk had found the trick, he looked at the fire in the skull's eye, and if the flame had a noticeably weakened reaction to the name he had taken, then the idea of proving that he was close to the name of the skeleton, and finally after a night of tossing, the fire in the skull's eye finally calmed down after hearing a name - Thanatos.
There is no doubt that Trunk was defeated this night, and at the moment when the name of the skeleton was finally decided, Trunk almost kicked Thanatos back into the undead space, the only difference from the previous one was that this time Trunk did not block the spiritual connection between the two.
A paranoid man summons a very paranoid skeleton, unaware of the future hidden beneath this ordinary night.
Trunk had been playing the Skeleton Wars for fifteen days, and he himself had a lot of fun, but he didn't know how many sleepless nights the Imperial City Guards had spent because of his games.
Although Trunk plays very low-key every day, and he avoids pedestrians while playing. But the daily game inevitably destroys the environment of the game area, with dead beasts, chopped up woods, large holes and small holes in the ground, shattered bones all over the ground, and a dark power that is a little stronger than the rest of the world. After Trunk finished cultivating, he left directly, but after a long time, some pedestrians or civilians living in the mountains noticed this situation. If it's one or two visits, but the connection is found three or four places, then the city guards have to pay attention.
At this time, a place where Trunk cultivated a few days ago, thousands of miles away, had been sealed off by hundreds of Imperial City Guards, and this was another strange place that the Imperial City Guards had recently discovered.
The inspection department of the Imperial City Guard surveyed the situation at the scene and continued to analyze. Based on the number of shattered bones at the scene and the area of destruction, the city guards preliminarily concluded that dozens of necromancers of about or above 5 stars were fighting in this place. The city guards guessed half right, there was indeed a fight here, but the other half was too far wrong, because it was not dozens of necromancers, but a more exaggerated necromancer.
The Imperial City Guard quickly figured out Trunk's path based on a few remnants of the previous one.
Because the places under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Guards are divided according to the region, Trunk's travel route that runs through nearly 10,000 kilometers has spanned 4-5 provincial capitals, and the city guards who find the destruction area in a certain place can only continue to search within their own jurisdiction, and then report intelligence, first the search of the small town city guards, then the search of the city guards, and finally the search of the provincial city guards, because the situation they found did not cause harm to the people of the empire, so without a warrant, no city guards will follow the known route of travel, rashly make cross-border pursuits。 I can only keep using the messenger to inform the city guards in front of the route, so that the cause of the situation can be ascertained.
The route that led to Trunk's march was preceded by a number of Imperial City Guard sentries searching for it...... However, they will all end up in vain, because their goal is wrong, and they all have their eyes on a group of necromancers, and even if any of them see Trunk, they won't pay attention to him.
A large number of necromancers were fighting in the dense forest, and the news of destroying the environment quickly spread to the military headquarters of the Imperial Capital City Guard, when the Grand Commander saw the news, he wondered if this incident was related to the battle more than ten days ago, because the direction of the route was the boundary of the division, but there were so many necromancers, but it made him very puzzled, so he quickly reacted the information to the Sima City Lord under the premise that he couldn't judge, as for what the city lord thought, how to do it, he would not speculate in private。
In the city lord's mansion of Mecca, Sima Qingtian lay quietly on a large chair in the study, and he kept thinking about the things that had been brought out during this time because of the battle between Trunk and Kill Seventeen. I also recalled the scene that happened in the Imperial Palace more than ten days ago.
